Settlers Jacob. A. Muilenburg, venerable and well known Sioux Center pioneer, died Friday night at the home of his daughter, Mrs. S. A. Kalsbeek, at Rock Rapids where he had been residing for some months. Mr. Muilenburg was one of the last survivors of that little band of twenty which came by prairie schooner from Pella in 1870 to scout out the land for the first settlers of Sioux county. Born at St. Louis 86 years ago, he came to Iowa with his parents at the age of one year, the family settling at Pella. In early manhood he joined the band of pioneers looking for new land and homes. His marriage to Miss Ellen Vander Meer, daughter of another pioneer family, on Dec. 27, 1871, was the culmination of a prairie romance. The couple settled on a homestead near Orange City where they underwent the many hardships and experienced the joys of pioneer life. Imbued with courage and high adventure of that life in 1882 they moved west to Harrison, S. D., where they again assisted in the early settlement of a new country. In 1895 they returned to Sioux county and lived for a few years on a farm near Newkirk before moving to the Sioux Center vicinity. In 1916 they retired from farm life and moved to Sioux Center, where they were held in highest regard. Having reared a splendid family of nine children, they were able in their later years to enjoy the fruits of their labors. On Sept. 24, 1930, Mrs. Muilenburg passed on after a full and active life. Mr. Muilenburg continued to maintain in his advancing years a keen interest in family, community and national affairs, and until some months ago was a familiar figure on Sioux Center streets. His honorable and courageous life will long be a beacon light to his family and many friends. Surviving are his children, namely: Mrs. Kalsbeek of Rock Rapids, Mrs. John Boeyink, Miss Josephine, Ase, all of Sioux Center, Hubert of Orange City, Dave of Hawarden, Allen and Harvey of Sioux Center. Three sisters and two brothers survive Mr. Muilenburg, namely, Mrs. John Kuiper and Mrs. C. De Booy of Orange City, Mrs. Noteboom of Zion City, Ill., John Muilenburg of Manchester, S. D., and Sam Muilenburg of Orange City. Services were held Monday at the home of Mr. and Mrs. John Boeyink and at Central Reformed church, Rev. J. H. Keuning officiating. Besides local friends many were present from Orange City, Hawarden and neighboring towns. Mr. and Mrs. Gt. Muilenburg of Beresford, S. D., were among those here for the funeral. -Obituary from The Alton Democrat (8/30/1935)
